Often treated as conspecific with Indian Nuthatch (Sitta castanea) and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta cinnamoventris), but differs morphologically. Overlaps in range with subspecies tonkinensis of Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta cinnamoventris) in north-western Thailand, where the two are separated altitudinally.
